I'm from Alton - the town where Fanny Adams and her family lived, I have seen her gravestone many times.

When I was at school my English teacher Kevin Osmond wrote the song " A Hot day in August" about the murder.

the song takes it's name from Frederick Bakers' diary entry on the day he commited the murder " killed a young girl, it was nice and hot"

a really haunting song - Kevin Osmond, if you're still out there I'd love to hear the song again
